The Amateur Poker Association and Tour have picked up a major sponsor in Betfair.  The unique betting platform is now backing the Association over the next season.  APAT is in its 4th season and they are expecting this one to be its best yet.  Having Betfair behind them will add that bit of magic to the mix as Betfair's hospitality is renown throughout the gaming industry.  The Season has 28 events across the UK and Ireland with 3 in Europe.  The buy-ins for these live tournments are low enough to get players who want to make that step up in their playing career to a higher standard with out having to take out a new mortgage.  Full Season Schedule 

Des Duffy, managing director of APAT, said, “APAT launched the UK’s first national poker tour in 2006 and it has become a proving ground for new and developing players, with members winning WSOP, EPT and GUKPT titles, amongst many others. This partnership with Betfair Poker brings a well-known and respected brand to APAT, as well as a tremendous amount of additional value and opportunity for our members”.

There are also two £20k sponsorship packages at the end of the season for the two best players in APAT.
